Avant que mes chansons ne fassent des recettes
J'étais un paria du monde des affaires
Il parait qu'à présent c'est fou ce qu'on m'achète
Je suis considéré autant qu'un camembert
Jesus-Marie
Quelle décadence
Quelque chose est pourri
Dans mon royaume de France
J'aurais pu après tout n'être que concoyotte
Que fourme méconnu qui reste sur l'étal
Que ces petits carrés à la crème pâlotte
Qui n'ont aucune chance avec le Capital
Jésus-Marie
Quelle décadence
Quelque chose est pourri
Dans mon royaume de France
Bien qu'étant de la gueule si je ne suis en fait
Pour les uns qu'un fromage pour les autres un poète
Je vous avoue messieurs n'avoir pas mérité
Ni cet excès d'honneur ni cette indignité
Jesus-Marie
Quelle décadence
Quelque chose est pourri
Dans mon royaume de France
J'étais un bon garçon ni plus fin ni plus bête
Qu'un tas de va-nu-pieds qui n'en font qu'à leur tête
Mais depuis que mon jour de gloire est arrivé
Je dois faire des choses dont j'n'avais pas idée
Jesus-Marie
Quelle décadence
Quelque chose est pourri
Dans mon royaume de France
Pour avoir en effet goûté ses coups de trique
Je n'étais pas copain de la force publique
Bousculé par la foule je me vois aujourd'hui
Contraint d'app'ler les flics et de leur dire merci
Jésus-Marie
Quelle décadence
Quelque chose est pourri
Dans mon royaume de France
Je tapote des joues j'embrasse des enfants
Et je fais des risettes autant qu'un président
Si je n'avais encore un peu d'égards pour moi
Je dirais que je suis une vraie fille de joie
Jésus-Marie
Quelle décadence
Quelque chose est pourri
Dans mon royaume de France
Mais qu'on soit fille de joie ou fromage ou poète
On vous jette dehors quand boude le client
Moi Messieurs des Finances qui sait ce que vous êtes
Je n'attendrai pas d'être tout à fait coulant
Jésus-Marie
Quelle décadence
Quelque chose est pourri
Dans mon royaume de France
